Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Lisa Rinna called out Kathy Hilton‘s Aspen “meltdown” and how she was protected by Bravo TV and Andy Cohen.
In Lisa Rinna’s memoir, You Better Believe I’m Going To Talk About It, the star of season 4 of The Traitors US explained how Kathy ended up with the upper hand at the RHOBH season 12 reunion.
Straight from Rinna’s lips:
“Here’s the true story: I witnessed Kathy’s bad behavior over the course of filming that season, especially on our trip to Aspen. I think the Hiltons had tried to hide it. That had been their goal their entire time. They spent years and years covering it up on tv, and all of a sudden, I’ve called it out on national TV.”
“But I wasn’t going to protect her. I was going to call her out on it, and that is what I did. That night in Aspen, she came back from the club and had an absolute meltdown in the dark. There were no lights on. She flipped out, was pounding on the walls, screaming and yelling, and absolutely losing her f*cking sh*t. It scared me.”
“I had never had anybody behave like that in front of me in my entire life, and it freaked me the f*ck out. I spoke out, and I was villainized for that.”
Protect the family:
“That machine, the Hilton-Richards machine, has really done a lot of work to keep that undercover. They were not about to let Lisa Rinna f*ck that up. Bravo went along with it, and so did Andy Cohen.”
After explaining that RHOBH stars don’t typically have an agent, PR specialist, or even a friend on set during reunions, Rinna divulged that Kathy had her high-power publicist, Andy Gelb, at her side. “She had her weighted security blanket, and I had nobody. They were coming for me. So my hackles went up, my claws came out, and I began preparing for war.”
The rest lives on in the RHOBH season 12 reunion.
